Our county correspondents will render a big service to The News if each, one will sign name and post office address to their letters each week. Of course, this does not mean that the names .will be pub lished with the articles unless the correspondents -will permit .us to do so, but it will protect us against the danger of some person who might be inclined to get something into The News, under the guise of a cor respondent, that a community would not like to see in the paper. The News wants to take advan tage of this opportunity to thank each and every correspondent who is. contributing- so much toward makr ( ing this paper a success. Take last week's paper, for instance ? there was news from practically every section of Transylvania county, and it caused this paper to be pro- ^ nounccd one of the best county papers published in North Carolina. The News is making preparations to have all our correspondents meet in Brevard some Saturday, and have luncheon together. This was plan ned for earlier in the spring, but on account of the conditions of some of the roads we were requested to Wait until good weather so all our correspondents could be present at the meeting* TtfE SOUL OF TRANSYLVANIA COUNTY. Everybody loves to boast of the beauties of Transylvania county. Her towering peaks, her majestic Cliffs, her beautiful waterfalls, tl\e valleys that stretch out between th'fe hi... all present a picture that challenges the eye of the real j.rtut and defies the descriptive power of all writers. _ e love to boast of our timber resources, the soil, the various crops that can be grown. Our climate comes in for much praise. It is good, so we tell the world, for both tourist and manufac turing establishments. In our mote enthusiastic moments we delight in hinting that even down in the bow els of the earth there lies hidden un told wealth in minerals and precious ores. All these things we have, and numerous others, and we are justi fied in boasting about our posses- : sions here in this county; we speak with pride and gratitude of the way that nature with lavish hand formed this little empire known as Transyl vania county. But there is another, and to us a still more beautiful asset in this county. It is the Soul of Transyl vania county that we have in mind at this time. That soul is made transparent on every first Monday when the county commissioners meet Z1-, in regular session. The commis- , si oners, being the governing body of j the county, speak for it, and through them is seen whatever is good, or bad, in or for the county. V, . On the first Monday, when the; commissioners assemble, the meeting is called to order, the minutes of the previous meeting read and ap proved; then it is that an opportun- _ ity is given to those who have come ' ^ ?< to transact business with the com :missioners to state their cases. Al ways first on the program is the hearing of those asking relief, aid and assistance. , Some old lady then approaches the table and asks in a trembling man ner and with quivering voice if( her |T> allotment is to be given her again ^ this month. The years have not been kind to that woman. In imag A' yV inat;on, one iook.4 back over the de L eades when that wrinkled face was full of blooming youth, and one F *> ; wonders just what it was along life'* iw-V pathway oyer which she stumbled, K>' ? tu v.;nj up in the days of her old f age asking relief from the county. An old man arises and states his ' case. He can't wo r... he is in need; wjj there is no one to whom he can go. r jh';. Then comes another woman, with *-?. ? aoasibly no more than 30 or 35 ^ars behind her, >vt she looks al most twice that age. A baby is in! 1 .t ;- ; an. I otlu r lit lie* 'or.e.s nr.- j about her feet. The 'husband is: Kuiie, ?he tells the commissioners , J gone ? she knows not whore, leaving! rhe::i no bread, no meat, no milk.j This mother in struggling and won- J during, worrying and crying and] af r.nj^brkause every morning she awnKuislf> another day to be apent.j in looklfig in vain for the deserting' husband ami father, and evening' comes and brings no husband, brings , nothing but the promise of another, night of hopeless, wide-eyed worry' and wonder. In rc-spoilse to these appeals, the, Soul of Transylvania county becomes transparent. It speaks through the county officials, ami the clerk is or dered by unanimous vote to issue this j amount, or that, to those who come! there to make their pleas. So, with all the wondrous beauties of the county, with its matchless views and its crystal streams, the linest and most beautiful of all is the County's Soul, which is evidenced . by the spirit of her officials who; render these services to suffering j humanity, to' the helpless aged, to ? the heart broken mother, to the j hungry children. . John Hay, the famous poet, must have had just such as this in mind when he penned that never dying verse in which he said: "And I think that saving a little child ( And bringing him back to his own, Is a darned sight better business Than loafing 'round the throne." DISCUSSES THE SCHOOL SITUATION Editor The Brevard News: There nre rumors afloat that a . 'change in the County Superintend-! ent is contemplated. I do not knowl whether or not these reports are . authentic, but as a citizen and tax- j payer I wish to give my views on the i school situation. First, as to the County Superin- ? tendent, the duties of this office are I more complicated now than at any J other time in the history of public cducution in North Carolina. The ' superintendent of our schools at ! this time should not only be famil- j iar with the school problems of the 1 state and nation but especially w.cn j the problems that exist in our coun- 1 ty. The leadership of our schools i for the next two years is going to j determine in large measure the I length of school term and whether or i not Transylvania is going to hold its ' place as a leader in education among ! the western counties. An exper- j ienccd man is needed at the helm and certainly not an amateur. Mr. | Henderson has worked hard for j years to have adopted in Transvl- 1 vania a school system that would put , us on the map educationally, but just now when his system is not per fected, but when he is in sipht of the goal, a change is suggested, would not the old proverb apply here, "Never swap horses while crossing a stream." Mr. Hen.ierson has been criticised md probably some of the ?- iticis ? ?s just. He has made mi -ikes. '..ho hasn't? "Thi. ?vlio i or nako mistakes never do anything." A good school system has advan tages aside from its main pur noses. For instance, our county has .ceived much favorable advertising jecause of her educational progress. At the Cullowhee Normal the past summer I had the opportunity to mention the assets of Transylvania county in comparison with the other ninety-nine counties of the state. (Most of them were represented). It is with a feeling of pride that a Transylvania can speak of the as sets of his county and . especially the progress made in education. Tran sylvania was favorably mentioned at ! the teachers' assembly at Asheville last fall and recently at the meeting of the North Carolina Educational Association at Raleigh. Our voting la minimum eight month's term has been heralded throughout the coun try by the leading newspapers of the state. Surely we are not going jto take a step backward. Someone seems to have the mis taken idea that teachers were paid -a bonus this year. The state sets a minimum salary schedule and no county is allowed to draw from the state equalizing fund unless it adopts a salary schedule not lower than the state salary schedule. This does not mean that the county schedule must be the same as the I state schedule. Gaston county and j many other counties of the state . have higher schedules. Transylvania adopted a schedule ten percent higher than the state minimum sal- j arv schedule, being lower than the ' salaries paid in many instances in othc r counties and states, and in no sense a bonus. The school outlook for another year is bright. The Legislature is to be congratulated on passing a bill to increase the state equalizing fund, whereby our county will re ceive annually around ?18,000 more than we have received heretofore. Also the state has ordered a reas issment of the property of the ?!ate. Much new wealth has been added since the old assessment. It looks as if we might be able to run eight months and possibly nine and ?r the same time reduce the pres ent tax rate. Then why make a ? hant**? A change woultf in a sense i be a renuiintion of the splendid work done n ?*. ; I it mieht prove dis astrous. May th?- County H^ard of Educa tion weight the fact* thorouirhlv be f. r? u'dcir** :? of such im portance to the people of Transyl vania couny,*. OTTO AI.KXANPER.

JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET , (By Nancy Maclie) "Hey, where are the juniors? What are you going to wear to- ! night? I hope Jack doesn't get | scared. Those juniors ought to have ?, a good banquet taking a week's hoi- j iday to get it up." Such were a few . of the remarks j made by the senior class on Tui-.- j day, April '1st. Excitement pre vailed. The fcreat event which we j had been looking forward to for the whole year was about to take place, j The junior-senior banquet, and we seniors were the guests of honor. I Do you wonder that wo put our necks in danger of dislocation or ( strain endeavoring to look Signified? We could hardly wait for Bchool to let out and for the time to arrive. , All too slowly eight o'clock came. I Our moment had come and if our | expectations had boon rather lofty, they were now more than fulfilled. At "the door of the Waltermire hotel, where the banquet was held. : we were greeted by maids in trim j black dresses and stiff white apron; and caps, who gave each girl a tiny corsage made with a .jonquil to tie on her arm, and each boy a button nief for his coat lapel. Gayly we j streamed into the dining room, one by one, and I am sure the juniors , were fully repaid fbr their strenu ous efforts in the hush of awe that overcame us, then the many ejacula tions at the beauty of the scene that met our eye. The entire dining room was almost- a bower of -Javen- \ der, gold and white streamers, of j crepe paper which were drawn from i all sides to the center where a light | .? soft mellow gleam On the \ rainbow tinted dresses of the girls, \ The tables were arranged in a long white horseshoe ^ and decorated with pansivs. the junior class flower, and Jonquils, the senior ejus- flower. A dainty lavender and white bosket containing mints and huts, jfad a small white place card upon which whs painted a yellow jonquil, graced each person's place. The following program, based on a literary idea, was well developed and cleverly carried out: Toastmaster Kvsr.a Book .? ? ? - Stndefj?

Frozen fruit salad Cheese straws Charlotte Russe Mints Nuts The delicious menu which was pre pared and served by the home econ omics class under the capable super vision of M as Ball, was voted by all to be rUe best number on the program. 13etwe.en the courses we sang songs and enjoyed the infor mal, happy atmosphere to the full est. On being dismissed by our ef ficient toastmaster we all left, each one agreeing that we had never had a better time nor seen as lovely a banquet and wishing: that the juniors would give us another.
